It is important for us to form habits consistent with protecting the environment. Protecting our environment is not just a one-time event, but should become a part of our daily routines. Good habits and routines, just as bad habits and routines, start with small actions that get repeated and then become unconscious actions on our part. 

One way to create new a new habit is to make notes for ourselves, prominently placed, to remind us what we need to do. After many repetitions it will develop into a good habit. Start today and make yourselves some notes. Even better, use scrap paper to make those reminders before it goes into recycling.
